Try this out for size (most of us will need to pick the non-IE, non-Netscape browser option, I'm guessing) :lol:

Shouldn't. It's just a non-frames version of the ooolllld WDW Sounds and Image Page that eventually became WDWMagic.

Wow. That's just so....wow. :lookaroun :lol:
Did you notice the date on the left frame? It clearly wasn't meant to handle the 2000 rollover so it says it's 7/24/109 :lol:

Or it clearly means that Steve has a Time Machine Vehicle from SSE and was time traveling when making the website.

You mean all the way back to the year 2000?

Awwww.
I've only been back a few weeks now; after not having a computer or internet for 2+ years. One of the first things I did was to see if some of our older members were around. A few of our younger members were just in high school when I first joined and it was nice to see they are still around---SillySpook and DisJosh, to name a few.....:wave:

Don't forget the Beastly Kingdom and "whole new transportations system" rumors:
(News just in from Bryan....
23, November 1998: I've just learned that Disney is planning on installing a whole new transportation system for Walt Disney World. The new system is going to replace the bus system and possibly the monorails. Imagineers have been visiting West Virginia University (WVU) to study their form of mass transit called the PRT.
The system they are looking at is called a "horizontal elevator" system. What this means is that a Disney guest will call up a car at any transit station and select where he/she would like to go. That car would then travel directly to the destination without stopping at other stops like the busses do now.
WVU currently has about 200 cars running on their transit system the cars are also pretty small ( capacity 8-10 riders). I'm sure Disney will need a lot more cars and will probably design them to hold more passengers. The technology is already in place and has worked flawlessly at WVU for over 8 years.
From what it sounds like Disney will build new transit terminals at each park, resort and other entertainment complexes (probably 20-30 in all) The transit system they are looking at is an elevated rubber wheel system. Kind of the same thing they use at the Orlando airport. The difference between those kind of systems and the new Disney system is that the guest can select their final destination. The cars are computer controlled and can easily switch from track to track. During low transit times the cars can automatically relocate to where expected crowds will be at a later time.
From what I can gather, it sounds like construction could begin by the end of 1999. This would put the entire project completion around 2002 or so... Just in time to get the bugs worked out for Disney's possible hosting for the Summer Olympics?
This sounds like a really cool project. My source tells me that Disney is pretty excited about this system and feels that they are going to begin development of the WDW system in the near future! )

Disney hosting the Olympics. Wow. Even on the wacky rumors scale, that is...up there. :lol:
(Not to mention that 2002 was a WINTER Olympics year.)
